Astrology has been having a moment for quite some time now with many eagerly checking out their horoscope, compatibility levels or even just to indulge in a bit of self-awareness.
However, what many fans of the study may not know is that the world's most notorious serial killers all have the same four star signs - the question is: are you in the same group?
Considering so many people love true crime and astrology, it was only a matter of time before these two worlds collided.

And now they have thanks to a woman on TikTok, who has helpfully identified the zodiac signs for some of the world's most horrific murderers. Have a look:
Lauren Skirvin, an ‘armchair astrologist’ who posts on TikTok as @whydontyoub***haboutit shared quite the long list of killers and their signs.
One of the names on the list is Jeffrey Dahmer, who we all know about after the terrifying Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

And, of course, Ted Bundy and Ed Gein are also in there.
She kicks off by saying the 'most surprising' detail of all is that Scorpio is not on there - her words, not ours.
“For those of you who don't believe in astrology, how can you explain that there’s only four signs included in this long list?” she asked. "That’s wild."
Lauren explained that there was one sign from each of the elements on the list with Gemini being an air sign, Pisces a water sign, Sagittarius being a fire sign and Virgo an earth sign.

She pointed out that Virgos are represented the most on the serial killer list, with 10 murderers born between 23 August and 22 September.
“You know that their crime scenes are immaculate though,” the TikToker added.
“You know they’re bleaching those crime scenes within an inch of their lives, and they’re perfectionists, so no stone is left unturned.”

Gemini is the next most common star sign on the list. Dahmer and David Berkowitz, who was the subject in the unsettling true crime Netflix documentary Sons of Sam, are both in this group.
Meanwhile, John Wayne Gacy and Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez are two of the eight Pisces on the list.
"Pisces is surprising to nobody either, because they let s**t build up and then they explode,” Lauren shared.
She admitted to being surprised about the number of Sagittarius killers on the list, adding: "Sagittarius is most surprising, but they’re only listed four times here.

"Sagittarius is chaotic and impulsive - I don’t know, you mix that with mental health issues, and I could see it happening."
TikTok users shared their reactions in the comments, with one saying: "As a Virgo this does not surprise me."
A second wrote: "Not me being a Gemini living with Virgo and Pisces children."
And one woman joked: "Not a single Aries either. Another day another slay, ladies."
When asked about the lack of Libras, one TikToker in the comments replied: "Libras couldn’t decide who to kill."
As for the lack of Scorpio representation on the list, Lauren said: "A name that is missing from this list is the Zodiac killer, who a team of codebreakers has decided was Gary Francis Poste, who’s a Scorpio.
"So we don’t know if that’s true or not, but if it's true - if he is a Scorpio - he would be the one Scorpio out of the list."
